Over
30 years
of continuous innovation and collaboration with the Olympic movement
Since
Salt Lake City 2002
Worldwide IT Partner of the International Olympic Committee
Since
Beijing 2008
Worldwide IT Partner of the International Paralympic Committee
The Olympic Games have always been at the forefront of technological innovation. Beijing 2022 was no exception thanks to our Worldwide Olympic Partner Atos, who played a key role in our approach and in the IT orchestration, and helped deliver safe and secure Games.
Thomas Bach
International Olympic Committee (IOC) President
We like to think of the Atos team as our silent partner. We do not see them but we know that they are in the background performing an absolutely essential role. Their delivery of key IT systems for the Paralympic Games allows us to engage with a worldwide audience and deliver a message of inclusion.
Andrew Parsons
International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President
On the road to Paris 2024
As the lead technology integrator, Atos coordinates a team of 15 technology partners comprising over 2,000 experts, all working to make the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 fully connected, secure and digitally enabled.
Application modernization and DevSecOps
Atos has implemented DevSecOps practices that enhance security while preserving agility and scalability. We have deployed nearly 600 containerized microservices that have transformed app development for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, speeding up the process by 3.
Delivering key applications for the IOC and IPC
Atos is delivering more than 150 key applications, including the Olympic Management System (OMS) and Olympic Diffusion System (ODS). These applications ensure centralized information and interaction between the various stakeholders, such as athletes, coaches, commentators, fans and organizing partners.
Ensuring technology readiness
Atos will conduct over 250 000 hours of rigorous testing before the competition begins. This initiative is performed using real data and scenarios from previous Olympic and Paralympic Games, guaranteeing that all critical applications run smoothly during the competition.
Real-time data transmission for fans and media
Atos distributes real-time data to officials and international media, keeping everyone — whether inside an event venue or watching at home across the globe — up to date with the latest Olympic and Paralympic Games results. Atos’s Commentator Information System (CIS) transmits results and sports information nearly instantaneously to broadcasters and media.
Reducing environmental impact on IT around the Olympic and Paralympic Games
By reducing physical servers and adopting more efficient development practices, we have played a significant part in delivering a greener Olympic and Paralympic Games, contributing to a climate-positive future.
Paris 2024 will benefit from Atos’s unique expertise, propelling
technological innovation in the Olympic movement for more than three decades.
